i dont have a quinny but bought a footmuff for my bugaboo for my dd (7 months) I love it ! So nice and warm and dont have to worry about getting her over dressed to go out, finding blankets, stopping them falling off! I shove a blanket down to keep her legs warm on really cold days, and she always feels snug when i pick her up (and she falls asleep easily which i am sure is due to the warmth) I am so glad i got one, and i am sure you can re-sell at some point if you find you dont need it at a later stage.
This is my first dd so no idea how long a buggy is used for, but most prams re-sell and i guess the person buying would want most of the accesories ....

Mine used their pushchairs to around 3y+. Never had a quinny buzz though.

I think cosytoes are worth every penny as blankets look really scruffy not nice. Cosytoes are much more appealing to the eye and warmer of course.

thanks everyone im off to buy one tomorrow
i guess its worth it, as i do go out with dd allday sometimes so she might need to use it for a few years so it will be a good buy.

the blanket is red and matches the buggy so it still looks good but i think dd will be warmer/cosier with the footmuff

And cosytoes can't fall into the nearest puddle the way blankets would. Def think it is worth you getting one at this stage.
Ds used buggy only until about age 2 but the cosy toe thing still got plenty of use before then

Get a Buggy Snuggle! They are brill and generally cheaper than the branded footmuffs.

i have a quinny buzz and i have just ordered one the cosy toes off kiddistuff website coz my dd just throws blankets off! her snowsuit is quite thick and she never seems cold to me but i ordered it to appease the grandparents! it hasnt arrived yet but it did look very cosy on the website!

my dd1 was very quick at walking and stopped using a buggy very young we took her on holiday at about 18 months and took the buggy then but apart from using it to get her to sleep it never got used she pretty much walked every where when we got back we stopped using one
